Seneca's Keep

My 18-year-old cat is very sick: she has fluid in her lungs, and its making her breathing very labored. She's on three different medications, but she's very dehydrated and has lost a lot of weight. She can barely stand or walk, let alone climb onto the couch or my bed.

We're hoping that she can recover, or at least start recovering, by the time I go back to Western on Sunday, but at her age, it's difficult to say.

I've been here for well over a week now, and aside from a heavy bout of homesickness on Sunday, I've been doing alright.

My roommate's fairly quiet, but friendly enough. (She plays Minecraft, so props for her.) We're in a suite-style room, but unfortunately it doesn't make the room very big, since we have to share a bathroom with the other two girls on the bathroom's other side. They're alright, but they don't talk to us very much, save when it comes to things like the bathroom itself and who's showering.

I only have three classes this quarter: English 101 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (figured I should get that out of the way so I can get to the creative writing courses), Greek Mythology on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and Graphic Novels on those afternoons.

Can't really say much about English, since we're just starting off. I'm finding that Mythology's my favorite, but you can't go wrong with a class that has you reading Watchmen or Maus for the curriculm.

So far, my only complaints are that the food portions need to be larger and the Humans versus Zombies club needs to get rolling. I didn't bring my Nerf gun for a paperweight.

Aside from that, this is probably the best sequel I've played. I'm only a level 17 Siren right now, and I've got a lot of awesome guns I'm not trading out for anything.

Though I do wish Claptrap was less obnoxious this go-around. -.-

In other news, I move into my college dorm on the 23rd, and my stack of textbooks is immense. Note to self: check in on what's required reading before you sign up to the course labeled 'Graphic Novels'.

Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to come this year, mostly because Western's fall quarter starts about a week beforehand. Unless I wind up joining a Lego club that decides to go en masse, the chances are slim.

Aside for a few mishaps last night, though, his visit was excellent. ^^

8/1: Picked him up at SeaTac, went out to The Rock for dinner with my family, including my grandparents.

8/2: Took a walk around town; embarked on a Lord of the Rings marathon afterwards. Fell asleep around 11 PM.

8/3: Hung out with one of my friends for most of the day; watched Mythbusters for the rest of it. Dozed off on the couch around 11; had to be roused so we could head to our respective rooms.

8/4: Headed down to Edmonds in the morning; embarked on another Mythbusters marathon afterwards.

8/5: Went up to Duvall to visit my aunts and cousin on the lake. Watched more Mythbusters and Shark Week features after we returned.

8/6: Went downtown to see the King Tut exhibit. Was impressed until we realized that his death mask didn't make it into the thing. Spent most of the day afterwards MOCing.

8/7: Watched disaster features on the History Channel during the morning; went to watch The Dark Knight Rises late in the day (awesome movie, btw); went out for dinner afterwards. Hung out in the living room until midnight.

8/8: Helped him pack, went to SeaTac to drop him off; miscommunications with my mom left me stranded outside for about half an hour until an on-duty officer helped me out. Drowned sorrows in Skyrim after getting home.

That's pretty much it; I might include pictures later on.

Btw, Ak is probably the coolest person in the world. I could not ask for a better boyfriend.

Welcome

These halls have seen much. From tales of heroes and friendship to tales of villains and death, from stories familiar to the ones out of our world, they have seen them all.

Enter Seneca's Keep if you dare. These halls ring with the laughter, screams, and sobs of those that enter our realms and listen to our words. Many leave in the end, but there are those that fall so under our spell that they never set foot in the outside world again.

They still haunt the Keep -- you may see them out of the corner of your eye, pale and wane from lack of proper sustance. They will not harm you, so long as you do not give them reason to, but take their tale as a warning. Delve into our otherworldly plots with caution -- immerse yourself too deeply, and even we Seneca will not be able to prevent you from becoming part of the Keep and our stories forever.

Join us at your own risk.

The Toa Seneca And Their Wares

Who We Are: "Seneca" means "place of stones" in a certain Native American dialect. This relates to the Amaja Circle on Mata Nui, the story-telling pit where the Turaga used stones to represent various points of a story. In some way -- be it through Role-Playing in the RPG forum or CoT, writing stories in the Library, or creating comics in the Creative Outlet -- we all tell stories to others. By ourselves and with the aid of others, we bring these tales to life. We are the Storytellers. We are the Toa Seneca.

Me: On a weird scale we're all normal, but on a normal scale we're all weird.

Half-Dragon: Seems like everyone and their archnemesis has a legacy. Me? I don't even HAVE an archnemesis, let alone a legacy. Does that make me shallow or just really lucky?

Why Inferna Shouldn't Play Rpgs

Rockhound (in the BZProvince Discussion Topic, fighting Xom and Kagha over my character): We really should get all three of us together and brawl it out. Winner-date-'Ferna.

Kagha (in KG): Lol, Xom, Inferna can only have so many romantically involved characters. XD

Rockhound (in KG): Says who, Kagha?
